Bug Description

this is ubuntu 11.04
debian-archive-keyring version 2010.08.28

/usr/share/doc/debian-archive-keyring/README.gz states:
Normally (i.e. if the apt-key binary is found), the keys contained in
  the debian-archive-keyring package will be automatically installed into
  apt's trusted keyring by the package's postinst script and keys that are
  in the debian-archive-keyring-removed will be automatically removed.

yet the keys are placed in /usr/share/keyrings/ (not /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ ), and the postinstall script calls 'apt-key update' which only checks for new keys in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ , therfore the keys are never added to the apt-keyring
